I’m done now mate.... worn myself out lol

You're just wrong mate, sorry.

If we were knocking the stadium up in a few weeks, I'd absolutely agree with you. But we're not. It'll be three years (at best) by the time it opens and we have to worry about putting fans in it...

No one - and I mean NO ONE - not even the biggest pessimist going - believes that there will still be restrictions on attendance in three years time.

erm, raises hand slowly

 

[arch stanton]

I'm not making predictions on the future. I'm just stating that a continuation of the current state of affairs makes the stadium development unviable., which it clearly would. A change in public health policy WILL be required. Nobody is building a stadium when fans are banned from attending them.

err I don't think there is a need for any change, as I read it, from June 21st all social restrictions are lifted.

 

[Dymak]

You keep saying the same thing over and over. It's still as wrong and shortsighted as the first time you said it.

If there was ANY suspicion that those restrictions would be relevant in 3yrs, then no one would start building a stadium now.

There is no such suspicion, and as such current restrictions have absolutely no bearing on a stadium that won't be open for 3yrs

You are also repeating the same point, in quite a RAWKish manner, just because someone dare bring up a salient point that deviates from the dream of the cult.

All investments carry risk, but not everyone will share the same risk assessment. In contrast to you, I'm not claiming to predict the future, I'm simply stating that the future is unpredictable, and that hey, maybe some people will have concerns about investing in stadia development during a time when people are banned from attending stadia.

Really hope we can get Netflix or Amazon involved in the build of this. Would be fascinating to see behind the scenes over the next 3-4 years.

That would be interesting like, if it was solely focused on the stadium, and the stages of it being built etc

Be arsed with it going on to the team and that though

Was there talk of water Taxi’s a while back. ?

To get downstream from Prince's Dock you have to go through a lock. Be quicker walking.

if it was salient, I'd have no problem agreeing with you.

Which is good news and enhances confidence with regards to risk assessment. There is an asterik within that 'road map', though.

I want to go on holiday and I want Everton to realise a new stadium as soon as possible. I just though the current worldwide pandemic resulting from a mutating virus may feature in an investors risk assessment, that's all.

I see your point here but even as someone who has been very cautious and somewhat skeptical at times over the stadium, I have no concerns over it happening now.

If there was a genuine lack of confidence that the public health situation will not return to normal, or pretty much normal, then in effect society, sport, and stadia, old and new, are all effectively doomed.

We have come a long way in 12 months in the handling of covid, there is much to do, but we have 3 years to get this built.

Economies are built on hope, lenders need to lend and businesses and organisations need to borrow. The day that system gets switched off is the day the lights go out.

I would imagine this is will be a key brief of the social media team - it's all "good news" from now & easy content to get out.

Suspect we will all be structural engineering experts over the next while
